Saints, Virgins, and Angels

Our Father,

 

who art in heaven

 

Mother Earth,

 

who art in Hell.

 

Burnt to ash,

 

ready Armageddon

 

Watch the sky

 

where angels fell

 

 

Zipper-mouths pulled tight

 

as the Cross passes the way

 

Carnal masks shimmer light

 

As sludge engulfs the day.

 

 

Vicious, vicarious crows of blackened ember

 

Cawing and moaning; devilishly romantic

 

The touch of fingertips on lips I remember

 

Left her womanhood wet and frantic.

 

Unchained desires that surely are satanic.

 

 

Those hours in confessional amongst lying sycophants

 

Console weeping eyes and tarnished souls

 

Elected “Saints” stand tall with hypocritical blather

 

Condemning children with eyes like burning coals

 

 

“But virgins taste sweeter,” as the angels say

 

With sins like spices which season raw meat

 

But innocence-takers hide beneath crimson beds

 

Sitting atop thrones as stewards to God’s seat

 

 

Will those that fall, eventually rise?

 

All creatures tempted by tangible discord

 

Would we disobey the Grand one’s design,

 

If we follow the path that derives from the Lord?

 

 

Samaritans run extinct in the iron fire roads

 

And jukebox ****** priests play The Doors

 

Demon-eye coffee, dark like oily foes

 

I sip and read about the murders in the Moors

 

 

Devil executions fuel the jungles outside

 

Angels Abandoning service to kids like me

 

Fixers and hitters of the skid south side

 

Shouts from the shadows, “Hey, Nothing to see!”

 

 

Violent red dresses accompanying long limb girls

 

Spreading legs for daddy and **** daddy do’s

 

Magic hallucinogens showing circles and swirls

 

In faces under hoods and sky-crying moods
